    Default Living With Guardian in Delaware, Custodian Living in Florida

    This may or may not be an interesting situation...

    I'm 15 years old, turning 16 this September. I very recently moved from FL to Delaware, and it's taken unacceptable present-tense casualties in my life in education, higher education, career opportunities, and emotional well-being. My legal custodians are my grandparents. They're living in Florida. I'm living in Delaware with my aunt, who is my legal guardian. I have the consent of my custodian to be living here. I believe the original transfer of custody to my grandparents took place in Florida.

    I want to file for emancipation. I'm confused as to which state has jurisdiction in this case, and to whom I would apply for emancipation. Also, would different procedures be requisite to application, given my living situation?

    One additional question; would my parents, and by that I'm really only referring to my father, as he, with my aunt, pushed for this move, and my mother is fairly disinterested, be able to interject in this case in any manner?

    I'm aware of the statutes regarding the emancipation of minors in both states, or lack thereof in the apparent case of Delaware, specifically that in Florida, emancipation must be filed by the custodian.

    And a couple more questions; from where would I request the forms necessary to an application, and to whom would I submit them? Also, should I need legal counsel, and I almost expect to, is there an agency I can go to for financial aid?
